## Questions & Answers

**Q: Hello, can anyone tell me is there a major difference, between a usb 3.0 and a usb 2.0?  thank you.**
A: usb 3 is an upgrade on the older usb 2 standard.  usb 3 runs much faster in part because its cable has more wires in it.  usb 3 uses a blue connector base pad inside of the plug and the older usb 2 normally use black or white.  This cable extends the usb 2 port on the side of your computer to some point 9 feet away.  usb 3 equipment is built to operate with a usb 2 port at the old slower speeds.  If your computer has only usb 2 ports this cable will be as good as you will get.  If you are using a usb 2 device this cable is as good as you will get.  If your computer has usb 3 ports and you are using an usb 3 device this cable will result in a large speed loss.

**Q: Will this charge my iPad Air 2?**
A: I'm not familiar with the electronic needs of i-devices, whether they require specific cords. This is just a simple USB extension cord, with a male USB tip on one end, and a female USB tip on the other, so you can plug your (male ended) USB charging cord from any device into it. I got mine because I didn't like the 2 foot cord provided with one of my electronic devices, and I have absolutely no complaints.  I've not had any problems at all.  That said, all my devices are Android.

**Q: Will this work to make a usb 2.0 work in usb 3.0?**
A: Your USB 2.0 device will still operate at the same speed when you connect to a USB 3.0 port or extension cord. It will not magically speed up. The USB 3.0 interfaces have more wires to support the increased speed. Your existing USB 2.0 does not have these wires.

**Q: if i connect my 3.0 usb thumb drive into a 2.0 ext. cable then plug into my 3.0 laptop port.  will i lose transfer speed because of the 2.0 cable**
A: You will, yes. USB 3 is backwards compatible with 2.0, but there is a different connection that USB 3 ports use that NEED USB 3 at all steps in the connection process to properly utilizae.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Top Quality

It is heavy duty and works fine. Would recommend.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great!
*by G***Y on January 13, 2026*

I have a weirdly shaped desk that I love, but as a consequence I struggle with USB items. This cord is long enough to have plenty of extra room. I plug my webcam, printer, phone cords, etc to this and not have to worry each time about crawling to my computer to plug it in. Highly recommend and the price is great.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Well made USB A male to female cable
*by T***R on January 15, 2026*

This cable works as intended with it being a male to female USB A 2.0 cable. I needed this to try out a device that only had a USB A male end connector. The quality is good with it being a thick well made cable. The length is great because it is needed to reach a power cube from a easy chair to the floor. I would recommend and the value to price is good.
